Lots of people in this thread are discounting the importance of Pax Americana
Every country's stability, for better or for worse is at least significantly affected by US Politics and their foreign policies
In Australia it's been that way since well before LBJ. But even far flung states in different continents are directly affected by US foreign policy, perhaps even moreso than Australia
- Dalewyn 3y ago>Lots of people in this thread are discounting the importance of Pax Americana I don't think so; what people (not necessarily in this thread) are discounting is the importance of Pax Americana coming to a close. Like all other empires and world superpowers that came before us, the Age of America will almost certainly end, likely some time this century, whether any of us like it or not. The writing is on the wall for anyone who cares about it, and no it doesn't take a degree in geopolitics or economics to see it. Who's going to be up next to bat? Personally I don't know, though odds seem good it's probably China. Whoever it's going to be though, we will be living our own flavor of an interesting time.
